http://babyutoledo.com/21/volunteer#Do-you-like-to-listen
- at baby u classes, is this volunteer person a parent advocate, a social worker, or something else?
- should parent advocate remain in the other pages because it “sounds better” than social worker? [per jan 17, 2017 meeting, changes were made]

in the united way section of the donation page, more details are needed about the process of donating through the uw to baby u.
- http://babyutoledo.com/8/donate#United-Way
do we need more info about the algorithm that the united way uses to decrease the amount donated?
- uw claims that a certain percentage of people donate less than they committed, therefore uw created an algorithm that automatically adjusts the amount given to the other org.
- apparently, uw distributes the money to the receiving org before the actual money is received from the donor. this makes sense that uw would create an algorithm, since it could lose money if it distributed the committed amount, and it received less money committed by the donor.
- but what about the people who actually donate what they committed? it appears that not all of the donors’ money is going to the org that was earmarked to receive the money.
